I very much welcome the third supplementary budget from the Welsh Government. Our clear approach in Wales to scrutiny of public finances is both transparent and reliable. As a member of the Public Accounts Committee and the Finance Committee, I do very much value that we prioritise and spend wisely the public moneys available to us in Wales.

However, in Wales, we have to operate—as has been said—within very significant constraints, unlike our counterparts across the UK, as presented to us by a Tory Chancellor of the Exchequer who refuses categorically to honour the devolution of this place as a mature Parliament, give Wales flexibility and give back control over how we spend key elements of our money. However, Deputy Llywydd, I expect little from a Chancellor who announces a budget with a plethora—a rainbow—of his own PR on Instagram and social media videos, and totally fails to mention in his speech the damning disarray of the 1 per cent pay offer to the nurses of England, who have fought, and are continuing to fight, right on the front line of the COVID-19 pandemic.

In Wales, we value transparency in our public finances, and this couldn't be in more direct and stark contrast to England, where the UK Tory Government has not afforded scrutiny across the year of its financial proposals. The Welsh Government, then, is to be commended for its faithful and regular reporting to this Parliament at every stage of the process—seeking and affording public scrutiny of its proposals. As we await the unanswered silence around the shared prosperity fund, crucial to Wales, I wish to thank you, Minister, for all that you and the Welsh Labour Government have done, despite considerable constraints, to produce a clear, strategic third supplementary budget, which will build back fairer for Wales.
